The amount of complementary food for a 6-month-old baby depends on the child’s usual amount of feeding, the type of complementary food and the degree of adaptation of the gastrointestinal tract, which is different for each baby and cannot be generalized. Generally speaking, when you first add complementary foods, you can give 20-30mL of juice as a liquid, or 10-20g of rice flour or rice paste if you are adding it. The child may have obvious congestion and edema around the mouth after eating. If any of these clinical signs occur, the child is unable to adapt to the existing complementary food and needs to change the complementary food. If the child does not show any signs of maladjustment, you can gradually increase the dosage of the supplement after 2-3 days. When adding complementary foods to your child, you should follow the following principles: 1. From less to more: When you first add a new complementary food, feed it only once a day, and the amount should not be too much, and slowly increase the amount of complementary foods when you observe that your child has no allergy symptoms or gastrointestinal symptoms; 2. From simple to complicated: Each added complementary food should be adapted to 3-5 days, and then add new types of complementary foods after you observe that your child does not have any abnormal performance; 3. From thin to thick: 6 months old baby’s teeth have not yet grown, and swallowing ability is limited, the ability to digest solid food is relatively weak, which can easily lead to indigestion, so at first try to make the complementary food thinner, when the child’s intestinal tract to adapt and then gradually become thicker. In addition, note that when adding complementary foods to your child, the ingredients must be absolutely fresh, and the child’s complementary foods are best made and eaten now. This will keep the food sanitary to the maximum and avoid diarrhea in your child.
